This woman, now if you don't know who she is, she was just appointed by Henry McMaster to be our director of public health here in South Carolina. And man, oh man, the pushback on this has been absolutely unbelievable and rightfully so. This is Dr. Vaxler. Folks need to remain diligent. They need to use this as a reminder. 01:48 of how important it is to do those small things that mean big differences. Wearing a mask, doing the physical distancing, hand hygiene, avoiding large crowds or group gatherings when possible.
